First metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) arthroplasty provides hallux rigidus patients with pain relief and preserved motion, offering an alternative to arthrodesis. Recent advancements in implant technology and surgical techniques have broadened treatment options. Although good outcomes have been documented in the literature, concerns persist regarding increased complications, uncertain long-term efficacy, and challenges in managing failed arthroplasties. Addressing bone loss resulting from the procedure further complicates salvage procedures. Larger cohorts and extended studies are necessary to establish efficacy of first MTPJ arthroplasty. Decisions must weigh the trade-offs between pain relief and potential complications, requiring thorough patient-surgeon discussions. Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
